About two-third of stars within 81 light years of Earth were born in clusters, claims a new research. The study from Carnegie's Alan Boss demonstrated that most of the stars were formed when unstable clusters of newly formed protostars, which are born out of rotating clouds of dust and gas that act as nurseries for star formation, broke up. Rare clusters of multiple protostars remain stable and mature into multi-star systems and the unstable ones will ...Sunday, 28 September 2014
Research Says Almost Two-Third of Stars Were Born in Clusters
About two-third of stars within 81 light years of Earth were born in clusters, claims a new research. The study from Carnegie's Alan Boss demonstrated that most of the stars were formed when unstable clusters of newly formed protostars, which are born out of rotating clouds of dust and gas that act as nurseries for star formation, broke up.
